  1. F-16AMs over Libya

    Pretty sure its about reducing wing flutter, although I would rather have an AIM-120 over an AIM-9 for self defence any day. See this site for answers http://www.f-16.net/f-16_forum_viewtopic-t-11355-view-next.html Anything with John Wills name in it is pretty good - being one of the original F-16 engineers!!
  2. Local flight...

    Nice shots!
  3. RIP Dan Wheldon

    RIP Dan - you done us Brits proud.....

    Did you even know there was a Dutch team?
  6. A way to make a cabriolet

    Wow - Is that a Tornado IDS? - so much for flimsy western manufacturing :)

  10. Dennis Ritchie died

    Aw no - most of todays computing is built on Unix and C (and its descendents C++/c#/Java) Linux came out of Unix(Minix) MAC OSX is based on BSD Unix - and so are the iPhone iPad Operating Systems C++ - well most of Windows is built with that - and Linux/Unix on C and C++ - and so's Falcon 4 from what Ive read :) Respect to a great pioneer and true Genius
  11. The recent B-57 Canberra units in Vietnam has the RAAF B.mk20s using 8 x WW2 era 500LB box fin bombs (with photos) - thats 2 on the wingtip rack mod racks and 6 in the bomb bay. This was a standard load until they were used up - then they used 6 x M-117s as the standard loadout - 4 in the bomb bay and 2 on the wingtip racks. The B.mk20 is pretty much a B.mk2 bomber only, whereas the B-57A although it looks like the B.mk2 has few changes including multiple underwing hardpoints.
  12. Truly amazing work again Dels - congratulations and many thanks :drinks: :drinks:
  13. Someone added airframe braces - nice
  14. Virus strikes US's UAVs.

    Systems seemed to have always failed quite a lot in Vietnam and other conflicts in the past without viruses - and it would be more painful without steam gauges to back you up. The tech maybe more reliable but it still fails anyway! And if those other systems fail due to a virus you can still stand a chance of flying out of there - which is better than no chance at all - you can fly past all the virus infected UAV s as they fall to the ground
  15. Virus strikes US's UAVs.

    Even without a virus we cant always predict what software does due to some unknown flaw - a few have just decided to fly off by themselves into a mountain ive seen reported. Problem is the budget could never be large enough to allow the amount of testing required to make them reliable enough - the bugs just have to get ironed out over the years like with any software. Re the BSG analogy - you would have to be pretty stupid to allow the internal FLCS to be compromised through a data link interface or allow any remote control - it should be completely isolated in a manned jet so the only way a virus could get on there is if the pilot gets tricked into loading it on a DTC - and even then it really shouldn't be compromised. Anyway the real problem with drones IMO is actually getting a strong enough signal to the drone!
  16. Burglars Beware

    Pretty much what I feel regarding this
  17. Steve Jobs

    the products are far from perfect - I suppose the idea and style over content are what sells them. To add to the above - one thing on my iPhone 4 - as a pocket PC its great - as a phone its absolutely useless so I dont recommend one - poor reception and pathetic battery endurance - I have a Sony Ericsson which is 4 years older and its just far superior - even has a better camera. And if you are thinking you can carry a spare battery - well errrr....cant replace it easily - so in most cases its a sealed unit all the way to landfill - really have to question that one.

  19. There are some - not that many - most around the capital from what I remember. One thing to check is whether any of the stock SAMs actually have service dates to the year you are playing in. Adding more SAMs might be a data.ini edit - unless the campaign customiser can help.
  20. Steve Jobs

    The Bill Gates of Apple - able to package other people inventions into products that appealed to the masses. Apple really got ahead of the game over the other tech giants like Sony in the mobile business where they had no right to be - and Jobs really turned around a sinking ship after going back there. The recent products particularly the iPhone 4 which is pretty much a pocket PC are wonderful (especially the touch interface) and everyone else has being playing catch up. RIP
  21. Another Great Ace passes away...

    RIP
  22. can only think a control file was installed with the downloads Is F2 and F3 mapped correctly in the control setup?
  23. What reunites the Worlds Religions?

  24. You can - then you will need to alter the campaign files manually to account for skin name changes and loadouts.
  25. Looks like the canopy now has a different tint and shines - very nice haha nice of you to wake them up
